The place just beyond my eyes, where my spirit flies.

I hate the world today,
I hate you,
I hate your face,
Your smile,
Your eyes, ears, nose...
I hate your voice.

So just get away,
I might do something you'll regret.
I don't like selfishness,
And I don't like you.

So just go be by yourself,
Or with your stupid friends.
I don't care what you do,
Just leave me alone.

Go! and stay gone,
Until you want to act like and adult.
It's days like this,
When I don't know,
If it's all worth it.

I would be able to forgive you easier,
If today was today...
And tomorrow wouldn't bring the same.

But it does.
You don't care about me,
Only of yourself.
I do everything I can for you,
Don't I?
Yet you treat me like...
Well you know.

For one favor I asked,
An assumption of your love.
BUT NO!
I got sand in my eyes.

I try hard to make you happy,
You can do the same for me.

This is about my girlfriend. Just to let everyone know that it is all worked out, we are great yet again.

"So just go be by yourself,

These lines really caught my attention. I love the way that the petulant (childish?) overtones in the first part and then the "act like an adult".
It reminds me of many of my own arguements with friends. You know what I mean, where you both act like infants for the duration of the slanging match and then realize just what you sounded like later.

There should be a psychology of feet. For do we not make decisions with our legs and walk about on our brains? What do you mean "No, not really"?

Hmmm, I like this b/c you use a good reference...
"For one favor I asked,
An assumption of your love.
BUT NO!

I love the last two lines; your feelings and that you "got sand in your eyes."
